Since the code is spinning in a do loop just getting bytes from the
user, there is no way of getting events or anything from the stream.
It is possible that the pipe has been closed down by the server side
during the looping. The actual detection of such will not happen until
the write is performed.
There is no total control for maintaining the connection. If the
server chooses to close you, tough love. If the connection is dropped,
you'll have to pay the price to connect. The best way to maintain the
connection is to use the event-based api's. Don't perform synchronous
reads or writes because they'll only wait for a certain amount of time
before assuming the connection is dead.

I guess I'm wondering what would cause a stream to go dead, beyone a
physical network issue. Is there an issue with the API that does not
allow streams and sockets to remain open?
My app needs to open a socket and keep it opened indefinitely while
data is continually sent back and forth to and from a server. Is there
a way to reconnect the socket/stream if it goes dead without incurring
much overhead (so as to not affect the real time processing needs of my
app)?
